The CLARITY Act has 36 days left in the Senate calendar before year-end, with key provisions still unresolved.
The US Senate has only 36 legislative days remaining this year to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act, after delays pushed its consideration into a narrow window. Lawmakers return from recess on September 14 but face a packed schedule ahead of the November election and year-end adjournment, leaving limited time for debate and votes.
The bill, which passed the House 13 months ago, has faced opposition over provisions including ethics rules tied to digital assets and stablecoin restrictions. While industry advocates remain optimistic, no agreement has been reached on contested language, complicating its path to becoming law.
A cloture vote is expected in September, but the bill’s fate hinges on resolving disputes before time runs out. The Senate’s tight calendar and unresolved policy differences leave its prospects uncertain.
